Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to determine the effect of motor-control based telerehabilitation exercise program on inter-recti distance, abdominal endurance, pelvic floor dysfunction, and body-image perception in women with diastasis recti abdominis. Researchers will compare the effects of motor-control-based telerehabilitation exercise program and conventional exercise programs in women with DRA.

Conditions

Diastasis Recti; Diastasis Recti and Weakness of the Linea Alba

Keywords

inter-recti distance; postural control; pelvic floor dysfunction; body-self relation; abdominal endurance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Inter-recti distance

  The subjects are assessed the inter-recti distance (IRD) in the supine position, knees bent and feet resting position on the table, the subjects is going to be asked to elevate the head and shoulders upwards until the inferior angles of the scapulae were just off the table.The subjects palpated the medial edges of RA muscles and IRD was measured using finger palpation in previously marked five-point: on the umbilicus, 5 cm, and 2 cm above and below the umbilicus

  baseline

• Inter-recti distance

  The subjects are assessed the inter-recti distance (IRD) in the supine position, knees bent and feet resting position on the table, the subjects is going to be asked to elevate the head and shoulders upwards until the inferior angles of the scapulae were just off the table.The subjects palpated the medial edges of RA muscles and IRD was measured using finger palpation in previously marked five-point: on the umbilicus, 5 cm, and 2 cm above and below the umbilicus

  after 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)
